The d in the path node is a stringified set of points which are connected by lines. M is for moveTo, L is for lineTo and Z signifies closing the path back to the first point. Each country (or region) has its own shape which is denoted by the d string. The series of path objects is sufficient to draw all the countries using a stroke and a fill. Looking at your coordinates, it looks like a closed polygon. You might want to try to use Mercator projection to project the lat long coordinates to cartesian coordinates. Here is a very straightforward implementation of this in AS3: *https://bitbucket.org/gka/as3-proj/src/ec91cdd098a15ab1e2cbf5bbd3a3221a36507685/net/vis4/map/proj/MercatorProjection.as?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default <https://bitbucket.org/gka/as3-proj/src/ec91cdd098a15ab1e2cbf5bbd3a3221a36507685/net/vis4/map/proj/MercatorProjection.as?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default>* Basically for each lat/long co-ordinate in your 'coordinates' array, call MercatorProjection.project(), which should give you a Point object. Use these series of Points to draw a shape, which represents your State/region. Do let me know if you need any further help Thanks, Om On Jan 12, 2016 10:06 PM, "Deepak MS" <megharajdee...@gmail.com> wrote: > Moving following conversation to this separate thread. > > > http://apache-flex-development.2333347.n4.nabble.com/FlexJS-US-States-Map-example-pure-AS3-td48006.html > > Hi Om, > I had one question. > I could see the following path in the worldmap.xml file: > <path fill="#CEE3F5" stroke="#6E6E6E" stroke-width="0.4" id="UM" > d="M25.4,206.4 L25.4,206.4 L25.3,206.4 L25.4,206.4 Z"> > <desc> > <name>United States Minor Outlying Islands</name> > <labelrank>5</labelrank> > <country-abbrev>U.S. MOI</country-abbrev> > <subregion>Seven seas (open ocean)</subregion> > <region-wb>East Asia & Pacific</region-wb> > <iso-a3>UMI</iso-a3> > <iso-a2>UM</iso-a2> > <woe-id>28289407</woe-id> > <continent>North America</continent> > <hc-middle-x>0.57</hc-middle-x> > <hc-middle-y>0.58</hc-middle-y> > <hc-key>um</hc-key> > <hc-a2>UM</hc-a2> > </desc> > </path> > > What is the path data in there? > > I would be getting the boundary data in form of geojson which would have > latitude\longitude points.
